What good photos help with
Clear photos help BCS understand location, scale, and surface condition. They support conversation — they do not replace inspection when color matching, layered damage, or uncertain substrate conditions need closer review.
Helpful practices
- Use natural light when possible and avoid heavy filters.
- Include a wide shot for context and close shots for detail.
- Keep the camera steady and shoot from a few angles.
- Show nearby panels when color continuity matters.
- Do not include private documents, claim numbers, or unnecessary personal information in the frame.
Limits of photography
Photos may not reveal soft spots, moisture concerns, or structural issues. If damage looks uncertain or potentially structural, request professional evaluation rather than relying on photos alone.
